Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Legion love lives...!

Okay, so picking up from my "Legionnaires who've never been shown with a romantic interest" thread, I thought it might be fun to just take each Legionnaire individually and list all their romances/crushes/admirers, etc.

Let's start with Cosmic Boy:

Night Girl-- admirer during the Adventure era; girlfriend beginning in Bates era; wife in v4; admirer in the preboot

Saturn Girl-- attraction in both SW6 and postboot versions

Sinde-- brief fling in preboot and rumored relationship during postboot

XS-- admirer in the postboot

Kid Quantum II-- relationship as of DnA era

Anyone else?

Triad had a bit of a crush on Rokk early post-boot.

Cos and Night Girl are first shown dating in the Action series. The issue with Uli Algor and her magic belt of many buttons.

Thanks, Jim. I couldn't remember them being depicted as dating before the issue in which he dumps her!

And I'd forgotten all about the Triad crush, TC!

Oh, and I suppose we should count Triplicate Girl's seduction of him during the Girl's Revolt Issue!

strangely, Levitz' Nura never hit on him...

Nura must have foreseen Lydda breaking all ten of her nails -- or worse.

Rokk's Love Life

Lydda Jath (Night Girl)-- Adventure-era admirer; preboot relationship beginning with Action run; wife in v4; postboot admirer

Jazmin Cullen (Kid Quantum II)-- postboot relationship beginning during DnA's run

Imra Ardeen (Saturn Girl)-- SW6 versions mutually attracted; postboot versions mutually attracted, apparent relationship during 'Team 20' arc; Superboy's Legion versions dated; Arthurian Elseworlds versions married

Sinde-- preboot brief fling; postboot rumors of relationship before joining Legion

Luornu Durgo (Triplicate Girl)-- preboot 'romance' during the Girl's Revolt arc; postboot Lu had a brief crush on Cos

Jenni Ognats (XS)-- postboot crush on him

Next up: the Shameless Hussy herself!

So someone want to start listing Imra's relationships/flings, etc.?

'K.

Lessee, there's classic Lightning Lad/Live Wire.

Then there's the fling with Cosmic Boy.

The "thing" with Ultra Boy during LEGION LOST.

Does Jarth count as Element Lad...?

For a shameless hussy, Imra hasn't had that many lovers....

-- Kissing Superman under the mistletoe and trying to seduce his younger self (unsuccessfully) in Adventure #326
-- Falling (momentarily) for the villain Apollo in Adv. #350
-- Doing whatever she did with T-Wolf on the asteroid

Don't forget the rumors that the "C" with whom Lyle was having a fling was really Cosmic Boy.

She's used her mental powers to wipe out any memories of most of her illicit affairs!

Don't forget the love of her life -- Proty!

Okay, at the moment, we have:

Imra's Love Life

Garth Ranzz (Lightning Lad, etc.)-- Preboot relationship started during Adventure era, married beginning in v2; SW6 also in relationship; postboot relationship and engagement beginning in DnA era; Arthurian Elseworlds married

Proty II-- v4 retcon into the role of her husband

Rokk Krinn (Cosmic Boy)-- SW6 versions mutually attracted, postboot versions mutually attracted and apparent relationship during Team 20 arc; also Superboy's Legion versions dated; Arthurian Elseworlds married

Kal-el (Superboy)-- Attempted seduction during the "Girl's Revolt", Supergirl tried to fix them up during early "Adult" Legion story

Brin Londo (Timber Wolf)-- Preboot, shared a "moment" on an asteroid

Jo Nah (Ultra Boy)-- Postboot, posed as his missing wife during Legion Lost, shared a kiss

Apollo-- Fell momentarily under his powers during Adv. #350

I actually wish the Kal-el/Imra thing had been explored more...

Others for her?

And is there anyone for Garth other than Imra?

I remember the SW6-Batch Garth leering at that other hussy, X-Bomb Betty. Other than that, I guess he's strictly imrosexual.

There was a bit of gawking at Andromeda, too, as I recall, but I don't think I'll count those.

The only other thing I've come up with for Garth was Jancel Ardeen's little crush on him.

SW6 Garth, player that he apparently was, also went after Emerald Empress-style Cera Kesh before getting a quick rejection.

Does Jim Shooter's behind-the-scenes commentary count for anything? He says of Saturn Girl "she undoubtedly has accompanied Lightning Lad on his forays into Dream Girl's boudoir". If it does, add Nura to both of their lists

P.S. A few more additions since you've already included Elseworlds like Superboy's Legion: Rokk and Imra were married in the 1994 Arthurian story (Legionnaires Annual #1). She married Garth after Rokk died.

I think we'll leave Shooter's Shooter's Legion notes as noncanonical.

Thanks for mentioning the Arthurian story, though. I'll add it to all three founders.

And so, for Garth we have:

Garth's Love Life

Imra Ardeen (Saturn Girl)-- Preboot relationship beginning with Adventure era; married beginning in v2; SW6 relationship; Postboot relationship; Postboot engagement beginning with DnA; Arthurian Elseworld married

Jancel Ardeen-- Postboot Admirer.

Cera Kesh (Emerald Empress)-- SW6 version hit on her.

Next up: Luornu!
